Zitate von Charles M. Stack
  • "I've always read a lot, so that was the germ of the idea. I'll pick a subject and read every book ever published on it. That's hard to do if you shop at a walk-in bookstore. Even the superstores don't have more than a couple of titles per topic. My dream was to have a bookstore that had every book ever published to feed my own habit."
  • "Anyone with an Internet account can now connect to Book Stacks for free from anywhere in the world..."
